Driver installation
Note: Always sue the INSTALL, CMD for the
FIRST installation of the video device
drivers. To change video resolutions,
use the DSPINSTL program.
1. Install the OS/2 the same way you would a VGA display.
Open an OS/2 full screen or window session.
2. Place the Display Driver Diskette # 3 in drive A. Type A:
<ENTER> to make this the default drive. The type
INSTALL A: C: <ENTER>. Once the drivers are
installed, the DSPINSTL program is automatically
invoked. Follow the progam's instructions to set up the
OS/2 drivers in your system. Once the installation is
complete, the system must be shut down and restarted
for the changes to take effect.
Driver diskette copy
Note: Diskette copies of the OS/2 drivers
must have a VOLUME LABEL that
reads "DISP 1" in order to be an
installable diskette.
To copy the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette # 3, follow these
instructions:
1. Copy all files from the Display Driver Diskette # 3 to any
other diskette.
2. Place the diskette in drive A. At the C:\prompt, type
LABEL A: DISK 1 to properly label your diskette. Then
store your diskette copy in a safe place. For proper
installation of OS/2 drivers, all diskette copies must be
properly labeled "DISK 1".
AutoCAD
These drivers are designed to work with Autodesk
AutoCAD and AutoCAD/386 Release 10 and 11, and
corresponding versions of AutoShade. They all conform to
the Autodesk Device Interface (ADI) for rendering devices
and display drivers. These drivers accelerate redraw, pan,
and zoom functions.
Driver installation
1. Place the Display Driver Diskette # 1 in drive A. Type A:
<ENTER> to make this the default drive. Type SETUP
<ENTER> to run the setup program. Press any key
to get to the applications list. Using the arrow key,
select AutoCAD and AutoCAD/386 Release 10 & 11
and press <\ENTER>. This will display a list of
supported driver resolutions. Press the <ENTER>
key to select All resolutions, then press <END> to
begin the actual installation. At this point, you will
be asked for a drive and directory to copy the
driver files to. Enter the drive and directory, which
contains the installed AutoCAD. You might be asked
to change the display driver diskettes, and if the
destination directory does not exist, you will be
asked for confirmation. When the installation is
complete, press any key to continue. Then press
<ESC> followed by Y to exit to DOS.
2. Go to the AutoCAD directory where the new drivers
were installed and run the driver installation program by
typing DLDSETUP <ENTER>. This program will
configure your new and fast display, and will create a
batch file under the name FASTACAD.BAT.
3. Configure the colors for AutoCAD by using one of the
following settings: COLOR16 <ENTER>, if a 16-color
mode is used, or type COLOR256 <ENTER> if a 256-
color mode is used. Start by pressing A to select the
standard AutoCAD ADI colors. Press S to save these
color settings in DLDCOLOR.DAT. For further
information about these color utilities see Changing
Colors later in this section.
4. Prior to starting an AutoCAD or AutoShade session, the
display driver must be installed in the computer
memory. To do so, execute the batch file created by
typing FASTACAD <ENTER>. To remove the display
driver from memory when finished useing AutoCAD,
you can typ DLDVGA-U <ENTER>.
Configuring AutoCAD
The firs time you use AutoCAD with ADI driver, you need to
configure the AutoCAD application for an ADI display.
Select CONFIGURE AUTOCAD from the AutoCAD main
menu. The select CONFIGURE VIDEO DISPLAY. Select
ADI display as your new driver (installed at interrupt 7A
hex). Save the new configuration and return to the main
menu.
Configuring AutoShade
Before using AutoShade with an ADI driver, you should
configure your AutoShade application in the proper settings.
Before running AutoShade, remove the file SHADE.CFG
(use DOS DELETE command if needed). Then run
AutoShade. The program will ask for a display and
rendering driver. Select ADI for both drivers and indicate
that you have a dual display system. When you exit the
AutoShade program, a new SHADE.CFG will be created.
Changing colors
To change the colors that AutoCAd uses fro drawings,
backgrounds, menus, and text fro˚˚ormats, use the utility
COLOR16 (for a 16-color mode) or COLOR256 (for a 256-
color mode). When running these utilities, use the ? key at
any time to access context-sensitive help messages, which
will explain how to use the program.
For example, when you want to change AutoCAD's
background color to the 16-color mode, run the utility
COLOR16. Press O for object. Use the left and right arrow
keys to move through the different objects (shown at the top
of the screen) unitl Graphics Area Background
appears. Press <ENTER> to select this object.. The
current color will be shown at the bottom of the screen.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move to a new
color and press <ENTER> to select.
